Composition
Scene Queen stated her inspiration for the album saying "I wrote [this] album about growing up in the early 2000s but not exploring my sexuality until my 20s with all the messy and chaotic situations you find yourself in when you're trying to find yourself and your own power."
[3] She wrote "Whips and Chains" about the fear of being a woman at a bar.
[4] The album's opening song, "BDSM", is about the discrimination of women in the metal and alternative music scene, with the letters standing for "Beat Down Slut Metal" and "Big Dumb Stupid Men". "Oral Fixation" is about the problems of dating for the first time. "MILF" is a
country music -style track about people who grew up with this genre, but moved away from it due to its conservative beliefs, and was inspired by a visit Scene Queen made to
Tennessee one summer.

LouderSound stated "...
Scene Queen 's ability to leverage pornography metaphorically is endless."

[9] Metal Talk claimed that the album takes no prisoners.
